Provisional: Google News was rate-limiting us (every request failed), so all 13 outlets were checked through Bing News only. AP, Reuters and CBS News block direct site search, and the other 10 outlets’ site search only loads in a live browser. A single search engine can miss articles, so this score may go down on recheck.

Search terms
“Tbilisi dogs”, “Georgia dogs buried”, “Tbilisi stray dogs”, “Georgia dog mass grave”, “Tbilisi animal cruelty”
Method
- bing-news site: (5 term variants per outlet)
- google-news site: tried once per outlet; every request failed (rate limit/timeout), so Google News was not used
- direct open of every possible match on the outlet’s site
- extra Bing News headline searches for wire copies on other outlets
- editor read of every candidate headline
A match counts only if the outlet’s own article is about this story, not a passing mention. “Not found” means not found by these methods; search engines index only part of each site. Scores are rechecked at 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days and 30 days.
